Solve Media Launches 'Solve Media Insights' Survey Technology

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 29, 2011

Solve Media, the TYPE-IN advertising company, today launched Solve Media Insights, a new feature integrated into its flagship TYPE-IN advertising platform that offers efficient, in-unit survey capabilities for type-in ads. Solve Media Insights allows advertisers to survey consumer interactions with CAPTCHA ads in order to measure how effectively consumers remember the key brand messages they have typed in. Top brands such as Toyota have already used Solve Media Insights to provide fast and reliable brand lift metrics for their TYPE-IN advertising campaigns. Results are tabulated and validated by comScore AdEffx as a tool for measuring campaign performance.

Solve Media Insights uses a link inside of a TYPE-IN ad unit to recruit survey respondents on an opt-in basis. This methodology produces an average of ten (10x) times the survey respondents in a fraction of the time, compared to the industry average. TYPE-IN ads replace the distorted words, numbers and phrases typically used for puzzle-based CAPTCHA authentication systems with a logo or video, a brand message in quotes and an input box. Those who viewed the TYPE-IN ad and elected to take the survey comprised the exposed group, while individuals who were not exposed to the TYPE-IN ad and opted into the survey comprised the control group. The resulting differences in survey responses illustrate the impact of TYPE-IN advertising on consumers ability to recall brand messages online. Individual campaign results are consistent with recently published research in the International Journal of Integrated Marketing Communications, which found that type-in ads produced double the amount of brand recall and 12 times the message recall of standard banner advertisements.

As more brand advertisers run type-in ads as a part of their online advertising campaigns, they are looking for a way to measure the value of this ad platform, said Erin Hunter, executive vice president at comScore. We are pleased that AdEffx can help Solve Media provide a powerful, unobtrusive way to validate message impact and consumer recall of type-in ads for the industry.

Toyota used Solve Media Insights to measure the effectiveness of its January 2011 campaign about Toyota Care, the companys complimentary maintenance plan with 24-hour roadside assistance. Toyota designed a survey question about the Toyota Care program and five potential survey answers around the brand message. The survey was then served by Solve Media to nearly 2,000 respondents who opted-in to it. Of those who viewed a Toyota TYPE-IN ad during the campaign, 55 percent correctly chose Toyota Care as Toyotas complimentary maintenance program, compared to just 40 percent of those who did not view the ad.

Our Toyota Care program is an important component of the Toyota brand, and we believe that Solve Medias TYPE-IN ad platform provided a strong online advertising vehicle to ensure consumers engaged with our ad and remembered our message, said Kim Kyaw, senior media strategist for Toyota.

Ari Jacoby, CEO of Solve Media added: Solve Media Insights enable advertisers to get concrete, actionable data that demonstrates the effectiveness of the TYPE-IN platform in getting consumers to interact with and recall a brand message. In addition to the academic research that supports the performance of TYPE-INs, our partnership with comScore provides advertisers with campaign-specific performance metrics that prove TYPE-IN ads positively impact brand message recall. This makes it easy for media buyers to justify TYPE-IN campaign spends.

ABOUT SOLVE MEDIA

Solve Media was founded by veteran entrepreneurs and technologists focused on innovative Internet advertising solutions. The Companys proprietary online advertising system, the TYPE-IN was designed to create new and highly effective opportunities for brands to advertise online. The system leverages CAPTCHA authentication for brand messaging to bring unprecedented consumer engagement. With the solution, Solve Media: guarantees brand message delivery and increases recall rates and return on investment for advertisers; creates new revenue opportunities for publishers; and simplifies the authentication process for consumers. Backed by First Round Capital, New Atlantic Ventures, AOL Ventures and prominent angel investors, Solve Media is based in New York City and Philadelphia. http://www.solvemedia.com/

The President of New Century, Mr. Ahmed Tijan Jallow, had this to say about the concept behind the development of FINDIT.gm, In order for a country to progress socially and economically in this era of information technology, they need to embrace new innovative ideas, such as FINDIT.gm. Nowadays, internet marketing is the best marketing tool that businesses have at their disposal because they can maximize their exposure for a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing strategies. By integrating other useful and entertaining features, such as job classifieds and social networking with the marketing tool weve created the perfect platform for Gambian businesses to be seen. As you can see, were very excited about FINDIT.gm and hope that it will become a useful part of daily life in the Gambia.

Need to Learn More Patience? WinWinApps Launches an App for That

Burlington, VT (PRWEB) October 28, 2011

Most people would agree, Patience is a virtue, and most would probably also agree that its a virtue they need to work on. But developing a patient attitude in challenging situations is a life skill that takes time and conscious effort to fully develop. WinWinApps unveils Patience an iPhone and iPad app designed to help individuals test and develop their patience.

The app offers users a fun and interactive way to become more aware of their general level of patience in situations that they specifically find frustrating and challenging. Heres how it works:

Once the app is downloaded to the device, users who run into a situation in which they need to exercise patience open the app and are prompted to enter the patience-testing situation they currently find themselves facing. The home screen of the app keeps track of current and past situations, and summarizes a history of successes and failures.

Users answer the phrase and question, There is something you want to do now, but you know you should wait. What is it?

Patience then asks, How long can you wait? Users enter the amount of time they think they can successfully hold out from a few minutes to days. At this point, the apps Make me work harder function can be turned on to increase the amount of time the user must wait by adding anywhere from one to 30 percent more time to the goal.

Users can also choose to turn to their social networks for support in exercising their patience. For this purpose, the app features a Share your intention function, which, when activated, allows the user to publish their activity to their Facebook and Twitter pages.

Once the action, timeframe and share parameters have been set, Patience begins a countdown. When the allocated time expires, the app prompts users to track their success or failure by asking, Your test of patience is complete. Did you make it?

Users select yes or no and Patience records the action in either the resisted or irresistible portion of the apps home screen. Successes and failures will be posted to the social networks of users that have activated the share feature.

Anna Palmer, CEO of WinWInApps, was inspired to create Patience based on her own experiences. Like so many, I struggle with impulse control. For me, sharing my intentions to hold off on devouring an entire block of cheese, for example, helps me hold myself accountable and wait until that moment has passed. Then when I succeed, I can share that small moment of victory with my friends."

PowerDNN Launches A Global Cloud Platform for DotNetNuke

Omaha, NE (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

PowerDNN, the worlds largest DotNetNuke hosting provider, and a platinum sponsor of the DotNetNuke World conference, has announced the immediate release of the PowerGrid Global Cloud solution for DotNetNuke.

The PowerGrid Global Cloud leverages a variety of enterprise technologies used by companies such as Facebook and Google, to provide a seamless, global web presence.

On the PowerGrid Global Cloud, websites are deployed across multiple data centers in the United States, Europe, and Australia. Customers are automatically routed to their nearest data center. For example: Australian customers go to Australian data centers, European customers go to European data centers, and American customers go to American data centers. Customers in other parts of the world are automatically routed to the closest data center. This delivers the fastest experience to end users, and also provides unique redundancy capabilities.

With a traditional cloud, such as those offered by Microsoft, Amazon, and RackSpace, performance demanding customers are provisioned across multiple servers within a single data center. All requests are routed to a primary data center where load balancing happens within the chosen data center. Customers near the data center have a good experience, while customers that are located far from the data center receive a second-class experience. Additionally, in a traditional cloud model, a data center failure is a catastrophic event. However, when a website is deployed on the PowerGrid Global Cloud, if a failure occurs, all users are automatically rerouted to the next fastest, available data center. This requires no intervention from system administrators and takes place in less than two minutes.

As Tony Valenti, CEO of PowerDNN states, "There are many companies who offer multi-server cloud solutions, but many of these solutions all reside within the same data center. International customers typically receive a second-class experience. While few companies can even fail over from one data center to another, we have raised the bar to create seamless redundancy between global datacenters. We actively serve websites from multiple data centers and customers always visit the data center nearest to themselves. Regardless of geographic location, all customers receive a first-class experience.

In his session at DotNetNuke World, founder and CEO Tony Valenti will discuss the various technologies that enable global cloud solutions. Building on these themes, he will then discuss the automated data synchronization and distribution required for enterprise cloud environments.

About PowerDNN

PowerDNN, a DotNetNuke Gold Certified Partner, serves over 150,000 DotNetNuke websites and is the worlds largest DotNetNuke hosting provider. PowerDNN specializes in enterprise business solutions for large organizations with complex hosting requirements. Websites that are hosted with PowerDNN include many of the largest DotNetNuke deployments in the world including: the public-facing websites of Pier1Imports.com, LittleCaesars.com, and InfoGroup.com, as well as SECSports.com and NCAAFootball.com . Our 24/7 engineering team provides assistance and support for our customers worldwide. PowerDNN is privately held and is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska with offices in Reno, NV, as well as Manchester, England.
